They washed the sunset colours out of me and left me a plain monochrome

Lyrics from

The song Take this Lonely heart by the Nothing but thieves are used in this song

“I've got a hunger you will never taste

Craving a desire that won't go to waste

Take this from me, take this lonely heart.”

🧡🤍 :sparkling_heart:

Your emotions begin to seep through the cracks of your heart,

All the handy work you did to try and keep it together,

You tried to encase it in stone but it turned out to be clay and it shatters upon the sight of you every craving I had tried to hold at bay flooding in and pouring out.

I'm reminded of how I feel like I could evaporate if I don’t get to touch you,

I feel like I could spontaneously combust because the minute

You can’t have something is the minute it becomes unbearable not to have it,

Your like a bad addiction it’s like you put nicotine in your lip gloss just so I’d keep coming back for more.

But there wandering eyes disapprovingly analyse the scene and you dissipate I scramble at dust an ash trying to piece you together but your gone my baby is gone and I miss you.

They pulled me away from you and now every inch of me feel like it’s on fire as my heart itches and scratches and burns and bleeds and only your hands can heal the cracks of my porcelain skin but you can’t so my heart will rest in agony until you arrive which in the logistics of things is likely to be never.

They lie and spit and wash the sunset colours out of me and leave me a plain monochrome they don’t want my rainbow riot I frighten I threaten there status quo and the chains clamp me down and I feel like I can't breathe because you were my oxygen.

They think they know what’s best for me but if they really knew I’d be in your arms never letting you go again.

The broken hearted look on your face when I told you it needed to stop when I told you WE needed to stop when you realised you couldn’t look at me, speak to me, kiss me anymore and I wish I could have found away but finding away wasn’t my strong point I am the worst at sneaking around because I crumble under pressure.

So that was it.

That was the end of us dead end road but there wasn’t even a pretty sunset

Just the stark grey fog ahead on my own as you walked the other direction and I fell to my knees and cried and begged the gods to bring you back.

And my calls and pleads must have reached someone.

🧡🤍 :sparkling_heart:

It’s a sterile environment and i'm just being shown the ropes and your red hair flashes past me and I double take your flitting past and his words are swimming through my ears because my mind is now focused on you.

I tell myself I am not yours and there words broke through the surface and I tell myself this is wrong but my need for you overpowers.

Soon enough the minute my hand meets your skin and my lips crash into yours it’s like how a sigh feels it’s like how a wave crashing on the beach feels I feel complete.

I feel whole.

I feel warm and nice.

🧡🤍 :sparkling_heart:

I awake from the nightmare of loosing you and despite the platonic barrier between us I slip my arms round your body and beg you not to leave me again and you promise sealing our love filled envelope with a waxy kiss that makes me so happy.

I've got a hunger you will never taste

Craving a desire that won't go to waste

Take this from me, take this lonely heart

Because I don’t need it no more.
